Slide in spin back kick

This technique doesn’t have much in the way of subtlety or surprise going for it. It absolutely won’t work against anyone even remotely prepared for it.

As a combat defense tactic against an aware attacker, I have found that it sucks.

There are a couple of things that do work in it favor though. This kick is very powerful. It can also be launched from a variety of distances (although today I’m practicing from far away).

It is also a great way to practice the spin kick. It helps me to practice a lot of things related to the spin kick. Distance, timing, speed and torque are all engaged in this technique.

Without prejudice
